The flying is great, the pay is 18% above the award, the planes are all new Scouts (a more ag version of the Citabria), and the just got one new Citabria. Very relaxed flying. The bases are in Manjimup, Bunbury and Dwellingup, with 2-3 day lay-overs in Albany. But things can change. There will be a few pilots hired this season (oct-may) because neraly all the pilos from last season will not be coming back. The only requirement is a 10 hours on taildraggers and a CSU endorsement. It will make a man of you, you can expect up to 25kts of x-wind in Manjimup on some days, the dam fools built the runway the wrong way.
